Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about IP addresses and privacy on the Internet.

What is an IP address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. It functions like a digital postal address, allowing data to reach your device correctly. Without an IP address, you wouldn't be able to send or receive information over the network.

Does my IP address reveal my exact location?

Your IP address reveals your approximate location (city/region) and your internet service provider, but not your exact physical address. The accuracy can vary from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers. However, with a court order, ISPs can provide more specific information to the authorities.

How can I hide my IP address?

You can hide your IP address using a VPN (Virtual Private Network), which encrypts your traffic and replaces your real IP address with that of the VPN server. This protects your privacy, prevents tracking, and allows you to access geographically restricted content. Proxies and the Tor network also exist, but a VPN offers a better balance between privacy and speed.

Why does my IP address keep changing?

Most ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses that can change every time you restart your router or after a certain period of time. This helps providers better manage their address pool. If you need a static IP address, you can request a dedicated static IP address from your ISP or use a VPN with a dedicated IP address.

What is the difference between public and private IP?

Your public IP address is the one you see on this page: it's visible to any website you visit. Your private IP address is the one your device uses within your local network (like 192.168.x.x) and isn't visible from the internet. Your router translates between the two using NAT (Network Address Translation).

Is it dangerous for someone to know my IP address?

Knowing only your IP address doesn't grant direct access to your device, but it can be used to: determine your approximate location, attempt DDoS attacks, track your online activity, or identify you in combination with other techniques. That's why it's recommended to use a VPN, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.
